Chapter 127: Barrenness and desolation are the words of this land

All the way from Kyoto, not only the more you walk, the colder you go, but also the more desolate you go, and when you get here, Xiao Yuqi can even feel the dryness in the air between breaths.

After being escorted by Wu Ye and his entourage for another seven days, they finally arrived at Yonggu City, which is located in the northwest of the Great Guizhou Dynasty and borders with neighboring countries.

After listening to her uncle's introduction, Xiao Yuqi learned that there were 2,000 soldiers stationed in Yonggu City, and it was these two thousand soldiers plus their families and local residents that formed the scale of today's Yonggu City.

This place is located in the northwest, standing at the gate of the city and looking around, it is almost an endless barren beach, except for the northeast direction, the shadow of the shadow is wrong, there are few places around the Yonggu City, and there are not even a few decent woods.

In Fang Zhonghe's words, if it weren't for a small river flowing outside Yonggu City, it would not have been built here in the first place and moved into the Imperial Border Legion.

Relying on this small river, the people of Yonggu City were able to cultivate land and grow grain along the barren beaches on both sides of the riverbank;

Relying on this river, on the vast barren beach, there are also several woods, although it cannot be compared with the abundant water, but this rare greenery on the barren beach is to support the border people, the hope of living in this barren land.

It can be said that a small river less than two meters wide feeds the lives of the people of Yonggu City.

When Xiao Yuqi and his entourage were escorted into the south gate of Yonggu City, Li Yurong looked up at the word Yonggu on the city gate, looked at the familiar city gate building, she sighed in her heart, she finally arrived at the place!

It's just that in this life, this life that has changed beyond recognition, but she doesn't want to stay in Yonggu City, where her family finally gave her life.

Even compared to the other villages around Juntun, Yonggu City undoubtedly seems to be the safest, the most lacking water source in the northwest, and the best town to live in, and in this life, she doesn't want to settle here.

With this idea in her heart, Li Yurong was moved.

When the group arrived at Yonggu City, it was probably the end of the next Shen time, and it was too late to arrange this group of prisoners today.

The servant who handed over to Wu Ye arranged for his sergeants to take the remaining prisoners in their group to the city where the exiled prisoners had always been arranged to settle down temporarily, and then settle down tomorrow to handle the household registration of the criminals.

After the handover was completed, he got the documents stamped by the servant, and after Wu Ye put it away, he stuffed a small ingot, and pointed out the itchy teeth of Xiao Wenjian, who he hated, and reported to the servant in a low voice.

"My lord, it is said that this is not the turn of the small one, but the small one is afraid that you will not know, and then you will be deceived by this villain, so even if the adult is too small, the small one must tell you, just these few, led by the criminal Xiao Wenjian, was very restless along the way, and wanted to escape halfway. If the small ones weren't on the task, they couldn't ignore the laws and orders of the country, and halfway through, the small ones wanted to clean up and solve these few rat! ”。

Let's go, let's go......

Wu Ye is a soap official, don't look at the bullish spirit along the way, but when he really comes to the civil official, even if it is just a small eight-grade affair that does not enter the stream, it is also an existence that he cannot offend, after all, people have grades, but he does not.

The current task is completed, and the person in front of him, who may be standing behind the nobleman, does not blame himself for being late, and the number of people sent is not right.

Wu Ye breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, he was muttering, when he left Beijing, what was the meaning of the nobleman's words to explain himself? In this line, who does the noble man want to protect?

However, it is inconvenient for him to ask more questions as a low-level soap official.

If you want to live well and live a nourishing life, Wu Ye knows very well that there is an ironclad law that you shouldn't ask, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't look at what you shouldn't see.

Anyway, after the things asked by the nobleman were done, the big stone hanging in his heart fell, and he only thought of Xiao Wenjian, who had made himself lose face and ruined his fortune, Wu Ye felt that it was still necessary for him to take revenge, no one could stipulate that he couldn't be careful as a big man, right?

It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and he's waiting here!

Otherwise, for the sake of him picking the door like this, can he give five taels of silver at one time?

He talked a lot of things with emotion, and the man in front of him touched the silver ingots in his sleeve, he glanced at a few mouse feces in Wu Ye's mouth, and smiled very disapprovingly.

A county magistrate in the Daqian Dynasty, the annual salary is only more than forty taels of silver, and the seven-grade officials are like this, not to mention that he is in a barren border pass, what is missing, and the eight-grade affairs of a year are only a dozen taels?

Good guy, as soon as the other party made a move, it was five taels of silver, such a big stroke, no wonder the Tao came out of Kyoto.

Look at other people, a low-class soap official who is not in the stream is richer than himself, can he sell something better?

It's nothing more than a message from above, to supervise the exiled criminals this time, and when signing and stamping the escort, you must see the existence of Xiao Wenye's family, the Xiao family's Saburo and Xiao Wenye, who were explained by the nobles.

Since people have gotten to the place and they have gained benefits, why not go along with it and sell it well?

Maybe next time, this old brother Wu in front of him may escort the prisoners to his territory, and then he can get some extra oil and water, even if there is no oil and water, and the people in Kyoto have a relationship, maybe one day, he can rely on which inaccurate relationship to transfer away from this ghost place where birds don't?

The old man, who had his own thoughts so much, that the two of them were almost a hundred together, smiled tacitly

"Brother Wu, you are very good! Brother, I thank you for your reminder, you can only rest assured, when you reach my realm, it is a tiger, and he has to lie on his stomach! It's a dragon, he's got to hold it! These prisoners actually dared to resist and disobey the order, and they wanted to escape halfway knowingly, hehe, it just so happened that the frontier forward battalion still lacked a stumbling block to block the horse's hooves, and on the Beishan side, what the mines of the imperial court lacked were coolie ......".

They are all smart people, and they point to it.

These two things that this old servant said in his mouth are not good places to go.

It sounds good to say that it is the pawn of the front battalion, but in fact, isn't it the ghost who consumes the opponent's strength and rushes to the death when the Hu people's iron cavalry kills?

As for mining?

Then life is worse than death!

That's why they eat less than dogs, get up earlier than chickens, and do more work than cows, and it's not a personal job at all.

The most terrifying thing is that there is no dignity at all, and it is still a lucky thing to be whipped every day, in the bottomless mines, normal people can be forced to become crazy alive, and they can't see the doctor when they are sick, until the moment they die, they must still dig the mine all the time, that day......

Tut-tut, it should be the best destination for Xiao Wenjian's few mouse feces, it is not in vain that he wasted a silver ingot just now, relieve his anger!
